Default Installation Pricing

So, I pretty much got a quote from a couple of places around town and they seem to think that about 300 - 340 is a reasonable price to install st suspension, hotchkis rear alignment kit and sway bars f and r. what do you guys think? i got another mechanic that may do it cheaper, just got to take it down to the shop....

This is true, if it was up to me, i would not even go to a mechanic, but I am currently on the disability list and just cannot do the work myself. I am willing to pay a fair price, but that is it.... must be fair....

Well if you're looking to have a mechanic do it for you 300-400 is reasonable, keep it closer to 300 if you can. Most shops charge 150-200 just for the springs.
